Last night, I invited more than a dozen gorgeous bloggers to Christian’s studio to drink Champagne, see the Spring 2010 collection and shop Fall 2009. Our guests were Jennine from The Coveted, Jordana from Clutch 22, the three Fasshonaburu ladies, Jessica from What I Wore, the Jessica Rabbit-shaped Midtown Girl, Jillian from Nova Style, Pamela…

Heart Attack
Check out this vintage Moschino Couture skirt. If I got this, I could expand my Valentine’s Day and anniversary dinner wardrobe. Just a thought. Have a good Labor Day weekend, y’all. I’ll be resting up for the big Fashion’s Night Out after-party next Friday at the Francis studio.
RM by Roland Mouret
I can’t take my eyes off the Aspre sheath dress from RM by Roland Mouret. I have two Roland Mouret pieces. The first is a skirt from his original namesake line. He quit designing that line in 2005 due to differences with the company owners, who then retained the rights to his name. That’s the…
More Adventures in California
I’ve moved on from L.A. to Napa Valley. On the way, I stopped in San Francisco and had dinner with four gorgeous bloggers at NOPA. From left to right: Catie of Cuffington, Annie of Poetic & Chic, Mai of Fashioni.st, Patti of CuteMess and me in my Francis sailor dress. In Napa Valley, I helped…
The Guilt Is Killing Me
This blog has become the place where tags go to die. Gorgeous bloggers have been generously including me in tags and giving me awards since January, and I have failed to do the right thing and pass the tags/awards along. It’s not that I don’t appreciate such things. I do! But I ran out of…

Runway to Bloggers’ Night Out
I’ve always liked the “runway to red carpet/editorial/music video” posts — with side-by-side comparisons of a dress on the runway and real life — that beauteous blogger Fashion Critic does at Red Carpet Fashion Awards. Last month’s “runway to red carpet” post on Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman jumped out at me.A Fashion Critic wrote: “Many…
Good Samaritan in a Subway Map Dress*
I like to help people out, so last weekend I threw on my Francis by Christian Francis Roth subway map dress and went to the subway station in order to help lost travelers. Eventually, a nice lady with a yen for peach sangria came by. She needed to go downtown. Luckily, I was there to…
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway. Here’s the old look in sunny Paris. Here’s David Bowie. Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner…
Outfit Post: Vintage Ungaro Dress From Frock
It can take me months or, more rarely, years, till I wear certain pieces of clothing. Last night was the first time I wore a vintage Ungaro dress that I got on March 20, 2008. (I remember the date because I got the dress at my friend Evan Ross’s trunk show for his store Frock,…
